Love is Electric- joe and dianne one shots

Change of plan

This chapter is abit deep but it's cute.

March 2020

"Joe......"

Dianne stared up at the ceiling, joe practically ontop of her looking down at her hazel eyes in confusion. The whole atmosphere had changed the second dianne said that, it fell silent, the only sound that could be heard was both of them breathing.

"Yeah"
Joe broke the eary silence which filled the room not knowing what could happen next.

"I dont want to do this anymore"
Dianne said, her heart beating quickly at a million miles a minute as joe climbed off of her, taking a step back allowing Dianne to sit up. She reached for the shirt she had thrown off just a few minutes before pulling it over her head and back on.

"Are you alright? I didn't hurt you did I? "
Joe panicked instantly worrying he had upset her but that was far from it. He was confused and worried at the same time. This hadn't happened before ever. He didn't know what was going on or what was making his girlfriend do this. She had every right to stop him and he respected that and knew he had to stop right away, he didn't want to force the woman he loved into anything she didn't want to do but for them to be together for over a year and for her to say no to sex for the very first time sent a million different thoughts into Joe's head.

Had he said something to usept her?
Had he hurt her?
Was she having second thoughts?

"Yeah I'm fine"
Dianne stuttered worried herself

"You sure? You've never wanted to stop before"
Joe asked

"I'm ok, just having second thoughts about it all"
She said with a deep breath.

This was a long story.
With the lockdown boring both joe and dianne only just a few days in, the couple had found themselves somehow in a very long winded story about their future which lead them onto the topic of children and when they would like children and when the right time would be with dianne working as a dancer. They discussed how she wasn't working at the moment because of the pandemic and would probably be off long enough to get through a pregnancy and then return to dancing without it clashing with her work. And that was when they both agreed that they would no longer use any sort of protection to 'see what would happen over the coming months'. So they weren't really trying for a baby but the possibility of it happening was very high and they agreed that if it happened it happened.

"I'm sorry, this is my fault. I've pushed you into it and you dont want a baby yet I'm sorry, I'm such a bad boyfriend"
Joe nervously ran a hand through his hair thinking Dianne now hated him for making her do this.

"Its not your fault. I agreed to it too. We both consented to it joe"
Dianne said quietly

"No I'm really sorry, it's my fault, I did this. I've made you feel uncomfortable and I feel really bad because I love you more than anything in the world and...."
Joe stopped as a single test fell from his eyes and rolled down his cheek knowing he had made Dianne feel this way.

"Oh my gosh joe you haven't made me feel like that, I promise you havent. I swear, come here"
Dianne stood up going over to him and throwing her arms around him.

"Sorry"

"You need to stop apologising. You've done nothing wrong. I think we just need to talk about things you know"
She told him

"Yeah...."
He said quietly now knowing he was going to get the honest truth from her still believing he had made her feel uncomfortable.
Dianne took his hand and walked him back over to their bed. They both sat down on their sides, joe wrapping a blanket around his shoulders.

"Ok so......lets talk about this joey"
Dianne began

"Can you start?"
He asked still worried he had done something bad.

"If you want me to. Can I just rant to you, is that ok? Or would you like to ask me questions?"
She asked noticing he was pretty shaken up so wanted to make him feel better by doing this how he wanted.

"You can just say things, I think it will get everythin we need to say out"

"Ok, I just think that there was a moment when we got really close to it happening when I realised that this wasn't the right thing to do. I don't think i had thought it through properly and didn't realise what i really wanted until it was happening. It's like when you cook something for the first time and then when you eat it, you dont actually like it. It seemed like a good idea like when your cooking something new but when I tried that food I didn't like it just like how I didn't want to carry on. It really must hit me when it was happening and I thought there is a real chance of me getting pregnant here. And I dont think im ready for that. It's not that I dont want a baby with you because one day in the future id love to,its just that I think it's too soon. We've been together just under a year and a half, that's not that long although it feels like it. It's not your fault, you definitely have not made me feel uncomfortable. I feel so safe with you and I know you would not do anything to make me feel that way. The fact that you stopped when I said it wasn't ok with carrying on made me feel loved more than anything because that shows you don't want to do anything to me that I dont want. And I know you're still going to beat yourself up for it but it was consensual, I wouldn't of consented to it if I didn't love you. I love you still and I always will do it's just that noe isn't the right time for a baby even though it seems like it and I think we both know that deep down. We got abit excited and rushed into it without really thinking"
Dianne explained everything to joe and he agreed. This wasn't the right time. It seemed like a good idea but when it was happening it wasn't what they expected.

"You're right you know. We got excited about the idea of it and went to proceed with it without thinking. You were right to stop it. If you didnt and then confessed after everything happened I would of felt even worse."
He said

"Even if i did, I still consented to it."
Dianne told him

"I know but I would hate for that to happen. I hope that when the time does come for us to settle down that we can have a proper conversation and think about it over time rather than something like this happening again".
He told her

"We will talk about it properly next time. From now on I think it's just best if we carry on using protection. I still want to be intimate with you in that way just as long as were doing it safely"
She said

"I know what you mean. And you're right, we need to carry on how we were, and not skip into things. Sorry again....."
He said quietly making dianne smile

"Stop being sorry silly. I still love you"
She giggled pressing her lips againts his kissing his lips softly.
